118 BC


110 BC


106 BC


Casse: Dead

Lusitannan: Fuck these guys, seriously, bleh

Sweboz: Made peace with the Iberians, attacked the turn we boarded. How could they think that was a good idea, I'll never know.

Getai: Keep sending stupid little armies to siege my towns, killed them off.

Epeiros: Yea I killed them.

Carthage: Took Sicily from them, then their Spanish holdings. Hunting them down in Numidia after a while.

Hai: Was pushed back to Armenia, even lost Kotais, but came back and took a few from me, and in the middle of the war decided to attack me around 108 BC. Yea, that worked out perfectly for them. Was already sending armies towards their cities anyways, but it's the principle of the thing.

Sarmatians: Start kicking the Armenian's ass all around the place, then starting losing again. Wins the medal for the last faction killed.

God dam was that a freaking pain in the ass. I was literally wading neck deep through all the Lusitannan's shit full stacks. First turn my nomad army spends in their land, has to fight off 7 full stacks. Yea like I was going to do that BS. So I formed a few other armies, and sent them to hit Gaul and Iberia, where they had zero defenses, unlike central europe and it's hundreds. By the time I had taken their lands, most cities had been drained pretty badly by the pure numbers. They were constantly pulling the number of stacks from their ass like you see in the 150 BC SS.



Yes that's 1176 total battles. Maybe 150 were naval battles, if I'm lucky. I really don't recommend doing that unless your Rome or can/will mod for you own quasi reforms.

Holy crapshit! From 118 to 110 you took all that? Fu*king incredible.

Heh considering I had about 10 full stacks in Germany, Gaul, Brition, and the Baltics by the time I beat the Germans/Britons/Getai/Iberians, I'd like to hope so. Not counting the armies I sent against Armenia, which where mostly just the large garrisons in the boarder towns. It really wasn't much a fight, more mass slaughters then anything.They had nothing that could counter my better archers, which would kill 200-300 a piece, or my much better infantry, thats they couldn't touch, much less my cataphracts. Using my cataphract archers felt like cheating they were so effective versus them. I'd always assault their towns the 2nd turn of the seige instead of waiting. Plus a lot of towns in general had wod walls still *elephants!* and in germany/east europe didn't have walls at all, which means instant town taking.

Yes that's 1176 total battles.

Actually, that's 1185. Or are we conveniently overlooking those you lost?

Oh my. Imagine being part of the 'Yuezhi Invasion', that arrived around this time. Yep, yer screwed.

[Fondor_Yards]

Losses? I don't follow you, I don't lose battles.
